Siemens Gigaset 8825 Dropped Calls

When I'm on a call and another in coming call (call waiting) comes in that I do not answer, when the new incoming caller hangs up the call I was on drops. This seems to have started, or at least I started it started afte I switched phone service from my Local Bell provider to my cable providers IP service. Any ideas on what the cause is?

I have the same problem...with call waiting. While on a call, when a second call comes in regardless of whether I answer the second call or not, the intial call is dropped.

Does anyone have any suggestions?I have the same problem...with call waiting. While on a call, when a second call comes in regardless of whether I answer the second call or not, the intial call is dropped.

We use the same system for our home office and when ours went bad we sent it (and a bad handset we had) to www.cordlessrepair.com We got the rush repair service and got them back in a couple days. It was cheaper than buying a used one, my display was going bad too which they took care of at the same time and put in a new display, but it did cost me a little more. We love the phone so its worth it, and we looked for something similar but they all seem so cheaply made nowadays and we need alot of handsets. Hope this helps someone.

Some Gigaset phones have an option to have the answering machine play an outgoing message only without taking a message. You should check your settings and make sure you don't have yours set up this way. This could also happen if the memory for the answering machine is full so that it cannot record any more messages.

I have the same phone system, and *think* you may be able to fix the problem by adjusting the amount of rings before answer on each unit. This assumes there is an auto answer system engaged. Hope that helps some.

If your phone still rings, and you can use the speakerphone you can eliminate the possibility of a bad speaker. If thats the case, it sounds as if you have a defective main circuitboard, so you might want to explore the repair or exchange solutions available.

I have the same problem with mine - a Siemens 2420 base. The calls come in, all the lights flash, then the thing clicks and resets. At this point, it can only be used for outgoing calls. i think i'm going to retire it. Too bad, cause the speakerphone was one of the best ever.
